"Every 30.000 miles you should change or check the manual/automatic transmission and the differential lubricant. "
A transmission fluid flush will be sufficient to keep the transmission happy.
Many people recommend synthetic fluids- any fresh ATF will be better than the old fluid presently in your transmission. See the 700/900 FAQ for flush instructions- the 240 has the same transmission.
Inspect for oil leaks thoroughly all over the engine and transmission and replace seals and gaskets as necessary. By all means, address any antifreeze leaks immediately. Overheating the engine is virtually the only way to kill one of these. Also look closely for evidence of wiring harness rot and consider replacing the harness (not fun) if insulation is falling apart.
Post here with any questions.
